I powered through Freaks and Geeks last week and the week before, and now I'm working on Limitless. After that, I'm finally digging into Star Trek, starting with the original series. I had decided that this would be the year that it happened, and completely coincidentally, one of my oldest and dearest friends just started something last week called The Warp Project, which looks at the series through the lens of a feminist academic. Between that and the fact that it's downloadable on Netflix, the universe is demanding that I watch it.

I still need to finish The OA. I think I'm about 5 episodes in but then Series of Unfortunate Events came out on Netflix. And I'm currently reading Geekerella and listening to Diabolic on Audible. I think I might rewatch The Magicians before the second season comes out. I'm obsessed.

Uh. So. I got Amazon Prime last weekend and discovered they have a ton of my kind of shows available for downloading. I may be keeping Prime for much longer than I had originally planned since running a tv show on my phone while I at work keeps me oddly on task and not distracted by the internet. I'm currently working on The Night Manager, and then I have The Escape Artist and The Man in the High Castle (which I remember as my favorite Philip K. Dick book, but it's been so long since I read it I can't remember what it's about other than an alternate history 1960s San Francisco where Hitler won WWII) lined up after that. And then I'm not sure what will be next.

And @ghoulishglow THE MAGICIANS! I just finished a first viewing of that one a couple of days ago. I tried watching it as it aired on SyFy, but since I had to be in front of my laptop at home to do that, I didn't finish it. But since I was able to download the first season to my phone, I just powered right through it. And the Netflix version isn't edited for television, which makes me very happy. I hate it when cursing gets muted. It's distracting.

Well then. I just finished S2 of the new Voltron, and once again am impatient for the next season to be released on Netflix. I did suggest to the better half that we should do a watch-through of Golion and I was told that I was on my own for that, boo hiss. I'll count my blessings that I managed to get something resembling a binge-watch with him of Voltron. (We watched the last half tonight, and the first half was split into two sessions.)

It is such an incredible show! I can't wait for the premiere. My lady friends and I are doing a viewing the day after. There was a press kit distributed for season 2, and instead of a formal press kit, it was in the form of a board/drinking game. I found one miraculously online and ordered it. Hopefully it doesn't take too long to arrive!

I've been watching Unfortunate Events - I don't have the attention span to bingewatch, but I am loving them. I saw the older movie with Jim Carrey, but never read the books, so it is a lot of fun for me!

I liked the movie, but the series definitely captures the tone and absurdity of the books better! And the narrator is basically exactly how I imagined him to be, and that was definitely missing from the movie. I am going to go watch one now!

Is the Unfortunate Events series completely separate from the movie, or is it a continuation? I've been reluctant to watch the series because I have not seen the movie and don't really want to because Jim Carrey.

Completely separate. The movie is kind of a mishmash of most of the books, while this season of the series covers the first few books. They are nothing alike and the series is SO MUCH BETTER (and I did like the movie).
